When invited to give a talk, I always ask: "can it be a low-carbon virtual one?"
I often get a "hmm--we've never done that before", but I persevere.
And this week I received the ultimate compliment:
"I thought it would be weird having her on video, but it wasn’t at all."
YAY!

.@babescience this story reminded me of something you'd be into. Not sure if you saw, but awesome investigation by a women to identify the only unnamed mammalogist from a 1971 conference. nytimes.com/2018/03/19/us/tw… xitter.gq/mycandacejean/status/9…
Hey Twitter I'm on a mission:
The woman in this photo was an attendee at a 1971 International Conference on Biology of Whales.
She is the only woman, & the only one captioned "not identified" in the article I found the photo in. All the men are named.
Can you help me know her?

So accurate they are still studied by botanists today, these exquisite 18th-century 'flower mosaicks' were created Mary Delany - a widow who, invented a whole new art form at the age of 72. Each image is made by minutely cut & collaged paper. From 1772 on, she made 1,000 images.

Reminder that if a woman didn't post #MeToo, it doesn't mean she wasn't sexually assaulted or harassed. Survivors don't owe you their story.

Expressing admiration for icons and fictional characters sure doesn't lift up actual women journalists. xitter.gq/cragcrest/status/89312…

I also walked out and am trying to book the next flight out of #starmus. A few days of insults and other related was enough! xitter.gq/jimalkhalili/status/87…
First poor session of #Starmus: all-male panel, then one says he wanted Siri to have a male voice because he trusts it more. I walked out.

We hope interacting with scientists will break students preconceptions about what a scientist looks like! #MIDNADay #actuallivingscientist

We could easily replace "marine biologist" with climate scientist or really nearly anything at this point!

Hey STEMers, can we agree not to make pejorative comments about our colleagues' appearance in professional situations? xitter.gq/biotweeps/status/86456…
